It shipped already and its arriving this week. Their Nevada shipping point works great for us in California. I ordered my Helmet a week before a track event and got it in 2-days on standard shipping.

Well.. I got mine installed and ran into a few issues. It was a July 2017 build-date. I dind't need to modify the hangers, but they had to trim the muffler tips. Thought this was addressed? Also, when tightened, it came in contact with the rear cross brace. We reinstalled it several times and just had to dent it in to clear.
Now on to the sound. It's deafening loud right now. It drones under 2200 Rpm and especially during freeways and low speed acceleration. Does this quiet down and how long is the break in?

I should have mine this week. I am going to have it installed by an exhaust shop and two pipes fabricated to make it a muffler delete so I can swap them if I want. I'll keep you all posted of how it works out...

Thank you. That was reassuring. I also am hanging into lower gears now to get rid of the drone. Now I'm afraid of installing my headers.

Hi, I was wondering if you used the supplied gaskets that came with this exhaust system? I've been researching on this forum and people say that it's better to use the OEM gaskets because the supplied ones cause are no good and cause leaks. I'm going to have my Xforce system installed this weekend so if you can let me know I'd gladly appreciate it.

Anyone has a solution for the rasp when opened? Ive heard youtube vids with Varex and headers and its sounds raspy opened up.
I plan on gutting all cats on oem headers, rr racing tune and intake, and this exhaust.
I need no drone on the highway, so I was thinking resonators, or if this exhaust doesnt have an x pipe, then install a resonated x pipe like a magnaflow to eliminate rasp
sorry for newb questions, baby wearing at the moment so not much time to research.

Well I got my non varex system installed on Thursday and like everyone else, I had the same issues. Had to bend the brace pipe in the middle, had to cut off the tips slightly, and the kit was missing a manifold gasket. Other than that it went on fine. I am running it with muffler delete pipes and so far it is pretty damn loud. I am hoping it quiets down a bit after driving it for a week or so. If not the mufflers might go on.
